| I was abroad by 82 so didn't see the game for a few years.
I remember Adams from earlier days. I believe I have his autograph on a 77 CC final programme signed by everyone who played. I'll have to look it out.
Condolences to his friends and family.
As for wingers bottling it, I suspect many of today's crop would too, were they faced with the industrial tackling techniques they'd have faced then.

| Mick was my hero as a lad growing up in Widnes, he had everything, good hands, a great kicking game, was as tough as teak and always played fair.
A sad loss.
As for people saying Wright bottled it in the corner, don't forget in those days you couldn't dive and take out the corner stick while scoring as you can now.

| Will be tough being another prop down. At risk of thread drift - just wondered where the Mick Adams thread went.
Worried I dreamt it, we did on Friday did'nt we?

Didn't see the Mick Adams thread but he was in large part responsible for the cruelist of cruel blows to Leeds and it's fans one Saturday afternoon in Swinton. The next day Jack Wainwright on Radio Leeds said 'I hope all you Leeds fans have got over your disapointment.'
Just about gotten over it now but will never ever forget it.

Agree, cruellest defeat I have seen. IIRC Leeds played Widnes at home in the league on either the following Wednesday or 10 days later and Mick Adams landed another bomb on the bar and they scored again.
However, may be wrong, long time ago.

Been moved to the virtual terrace for some utterly unfathomable reason. Most irritating.
